IDMe is the next-generation digital identity wallet that simplifies how individuals securely prove their identity online. Consumers can verify their identity with IDMe once and seamlessly login across websites without having to create a new login and verify their identity again. Over 175 million users experience streamlined login and identity verification with IDMe at 22 federal agencies, 50 state government agencies, and more than 100 healthcare organizations. Over 600 consumer brands use IDMe to verify communities and user segments to honor service and build more authentic relationships. IDMe’s technology meets the federal standards for consumer authentication set by the Commerce Department and is approved as a NIST 800-63-3 IAL2 / AAL2 credential service provider by the Kantara Initiative. IDMe is committed to “No Identity Left Behind” to enable all people to have a secure digital identity.
We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer (SDE6), Data to join our Core Platform Engineering organization and spearhead the architectural evolution of IDMe’s data ecosystem. As IDMe scales as an API-first platform company, we need a high-agency technical leader who can immediately step in, rapidly synthesize our current landscape—across business objectives, technical realities, and system architecture—and define and drive a pragmatic, multi-phase evolution plan for our data platform and data architecture.
In this pivotal role, you will serve as the primary technical strategist and hands-on architectural driver for the Data side of IDMe’s platform transformation. You will assess existing relational, event-driven, and graph-based data systems, identify critical bottlenecks and strategic opportunities, and chart a clear path from our current state to a resilient, scalable, cloud-native target architecture. Rather than operating in an ivory tower, you will lead from the front—partnering closely with executive leadership, product, security, compliance, and application engineering teams to align technical execution with high-priority business outcomes across identity verification, fraud prevention, analytics, and AI/ML enablement.
IDMe is a full-time, in-office culture. Unless a specific job description explicitly states otherwise, all roles are on-site five days per week at one of our offices in McLean, VA; Mountain View, CA; New York City, NY; or Tampa, FL. Certain roles — such as field-based sales or other remote-by-design positions — may have different work arrangements as noted in their individual postings.
At IDMe, we embrace the thoughtful use of AI tools in our daily work and there are even occasions where we leverage AI in our hiring process. This role is based out of our Mountain View, CA or McLean, VA office and requires full-time in-office attendance.
The annual base salary listed does not include a company bonus, incentive for sales roles, equity and benefits which will be determined based on experience, skills, education, relevant training, geographic location and role.
IDMe offers comprehensive medical, dental, vision, health savings account, flexible spending accounts (medical, limited purpose, dependent care, commuter benefit accounts), basic and voluntary life and AD&D insurance, 401(k) with company match, parental leave, ability to participate in unlimited paid time off subject to the terms and conditions of the PTO policy, including 8 company wide holidays, short and long-term disability insurance, accident and critical illness insurance, referral bonus policy, employee assistance program, pet insurance, travel assistant program, wellbeing and childcare discounts, benefit advocates, and a learning and development benefit.
Final offers may vary from the amount listed based on qualifications, professional experiences, skills, education, relevant training, geographic location, and other job related factors.
